I'm glad to hear that this will appear (senses some indications in other posts too). I can't live without TV working in my HTPC ;-) Do we have some estimation when? (I understand priority in fixing other issues to final release).Regarding encoder, yes, I have this option in MP setup, but only for Intervideo (I would like to use any encoder I choose [ATI]). What in this case is missing, is ability to setup all parameters of encoder (bitrate?...).I don't see deeply into code of MP and TVE, but I don't think to have ability to call filter interfaces is really a hard problem. These should be part of .ax objects (COM). Internal configuration of encoders is I think overhead, as someone to need to code configuration pane which already exists within generic filter.But problem is much more complex from what I see. We will have to able to setup parameters of other filters also (Analog capture, TV tuner, TV Audio, ...). Without this, we won't be able to set resolution and other parameters. To have working TV in MP but with 320x240 is as you have to agree with me a completely useless.I would like to point to this problem, as have configuration of just some filters (encoders, muxers) is just half-way to success.In my case (and I think in case of other users) configuration of MPEG encoder (A/V) and MPEG muxer isn't simply sufficient.This should be considered during desing phase of filter configuration to not foget other implications other filters can have in picture quality and usability of TV feature.Next, if we will able to configure whole filtergraph for capture we can for example make postprocessing on recording level (ffdshow deinterlace, denoise, sharpening, etc...) which seems to me quite reasonable.Nextly, have to stick to just one recording format is also not perfect solution (yes, MPEG2 is standard). I can imagine better codecs/formats for recording (but yes, .ts stream is quite essential for timeshifting). What about MJPEG, DivX, DV? These can surely enhance quality of recording (on My 46" TV looks terrible, so one of reasons for me for HTPC was to have ability to postproccess anyway I like. MPEG2 artifacts on noisy analog without denoising it prior coding is horrible, unusable completely under 15Mbit).But anyway, I have just one freezed picture during preview/playback, so some problems can lay also somewhere else (TSFileWriter (wrong TS stream if something into is missing - subtitles?), TSFileWriter (bad PID? missing substream? missing info? ...) and I'm unable to get at least "moving pictures".If I only haven't left programming a years ago and if I have more time now, I could help, maybe... ;-(T.</blockquote>
